What I have noticed also with the rekluse is the flat and off camber cornering is way faster. clutch modulation here gives the 2T, 4T traction in these situations without the 4T weight. Flat corners are so fun now, just let it hang out without worrying that it is suddenly going to light up and step out and land you on your arse.
It would work great in a 360 or 500.

Some like them, some dont....

On that note, I have a 08 RMZ 250 roller that one day might have a 500 engine shoe horned in it. I just need to find a engine....

The odd part is that my flat cornering has improved recently.  I think it's older age, patience and some wisdom.  Or dumb luck   I haven't got a lot of time on off camber corners with my 360 so I'm curious how a rekluse could help but I'll hold out for someone to get it for my birthday lol

I admit I'm a bit curious but I don't stall often and never had.  In fact I love clutching and shifting and I dig practicing both and spent a bit of time doing exactly that yesterday.  Occasionally I get on the throttle harder than I intended to and wheelie around the berm but I find that fun.

in super tight woods it would be really nice to have a rekluse. some of the woods I ride in have sections that are so tight that you litterally have the clutch in just as much if not more than out. its really good practice but a pain in the hand!

I have one on my YZF450 and will never have a new bike without one again-- someone mentioned not stalling and thats true -- but another big bonus happens when you lay it down -- most of the time my bike stays running until i can get to it and pick it up again ----the clutch is also still there if you think you need to take a poke at it out of a turn to relive old times, but it encourages a smoother riding style and its rare that i have to do so

I'm a bit bummed that there is not one available for KX-500's, i'd get some more use out of that machine if there was

I do not see a use on a small bore 2 stroke unless a person was really light though -- the clutch is a critical part of maintaining momentum on a tiddler,   but a big bike has more than enough power to utilize it

The biggest difference for me is how much more of a pleasure to ride my bike is and how much less energy it takes --- so much that i have stretched my practice motos out to 45 minutes at a time occasionally.

   I'm a former A class motocrosser and i definitely am not afraid of a clutch -- but the benefits for me are just amazing --- i'm not a 22 year old racer/college student anymore,  i'm a chubby 41 year old  insurance adjuster -- so riding 45 motos like i was 22 again is quite unexpected.   10 laps on my 2 stroke 250 (about 20 minutes) and i'm usually pulling 'er on in for a break
   ITs rare for me to go over the moon for a product, but the Rekluse works for me -----  (but i also have a riding buddy who is also my age and skill level who is not sold on them at all - so ymmv)

this maybe a repost but it's new to me.

I guess I don't see the value of a Rekluse.  If I'm wrong, I'll admit it but I don't see why anyone would want it.  What are the advantages?  Are they worth the price that you pay?

Have one in my 250 and they are cheating tools for holeshots and completetly solve arm pump on the clutch arm. You llearn to work with them in tricky downhill wood areas and are great in the tight stuff. BUT only the PRO or the EXP.

And Jeez that YZR500 fuel injected is mean...N.Z is making them too there is a KTM380 in a 350f frame and my OHLINS 360 will be finished soon.

The "open class" stuffed into a 4t frame has been used with good sucess on Kawi's as well.

These monsters are for a small niche of really hard core old skool power hungry riders. Those of us (myself included) who own stock traditional late 80's steel framed CR/KX  500cc bikes clearly understand the limitations of the frame and suspension geomatry. These bikes were engineered as desert racers, and fell frozen in time as far as chassis upgrades throghout the years. I DROOL at the craftsmanship and trickery of the high end 500cc "AF" conversions !  I would LOVE to take one of those AF's out on the track for myself, but I simply can't afford one.
